Little did she know that her dream would come true. Earps made her senior England debut in 2017 and has passed a half-century of caps for her country. She was a key figure for the Lionesses in their memorable European Championship triumph – which took place at Wembley.

Earps – who won the FA Cup with Manchester United in 2024 before heading to Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent – has graced the home of English football on a number of occasions, at domestic and international level.

The 32-year-old is still having to pinch herself – as a two-time winner of the FIFA Best Women’s Goalkeeper award – and said to her Instagram followers when reminiscing about her Wembley post from 10 years ago: "Posted 11th of March 2015. Wow. So grateful for this crazy life."
